Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

Jump To Comment: 1 2As we know Iran is the next target. There is a very good interview with Chomsky,
from which I have selected a short section dealing with Iran and how it will be
setup. It is obvious, the US will help to stir up trouble and then invade Iran to
rescue the Iraqis from the Iranians.
But an even bigger gem is in this, because it refers to the fact that Bush I kept
Saddam in power, just when the Iraqi people were in a real position to overthrow him,
because at that time (as I remember) the US suddenly allowed the Iraqi's to use their
helicopters to crush the rebellion that Bush I actively encouraged. I remember him
on the TV urging the Iraqis to rise up against Saddam. And then suddenly they were
crushed by Saddam because the Iraqi army were allowed use their helicopters again.
The purpose of the exercise was to flush out those most likely to rebel, then kill
them and this ensured no-one would try again for a long long time. The last thing the
US wants is democracy in Iraqi. God forbid, the Iraqis might then want to control their
own oil and get a fair price for it. In Iran in the late 50s a democratically elected
leader who nationalized (BP's) oil was assassinated by the CIA/MI5. The dictator -the Shah
was installed instead. And the rest is history.
From Chomsky interview:
"On the other hand, it's possible it could be what the hawks in Washington hope - a
quick victory, no fighting to speak of, impose a new regime, give it a democratic
façade, make sure the US has big military bases there, and effectively controls the oil.
The chances that they will allow anything approximating real democracy are pretty
slight. There's major problems in the way of that - problems that motivated Bush No 1
to oppose the rebellions in 1991 that could have overthrown Saddam Hussein. After
all, he could have been overthrown then if the US had not authorised Saddam to crush
the rebellions.
One major problem is that roughly 60% of the population is Shi'ite. If there's any form
of democratic government, they're going to have a say, in fact a majority say, in what
the government is. Well they are not pro-Iranian but the chances are that a Shi'ite
majority would join the rest of the region in trying to improve relations with Iran and
reduce the levels of tension generally in the region by re-integrating Iran within it.
There have been moves in that direction among the Arab states and Shi'ite majority in
Iraq is likely to do that. That's the last thing the US wants. Iran is its next target. "

...the U.S. has been trying to stage coups in Venesuela to overthrow their Democratically elected government-because the stinkin Yanks don't think Venesuelans have the right to ask a fair price for their oil!
